Suarez, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona as well as Spanish rivals Real Madrid, will also miss Uruguay's next nine fixtures.

The news comes just a day after Balbi claimed England and Italy were responsible for a witchhunt against the frontman.

In an incredible interpretation of the events that unfolded on Tuesday, Suarez's lawyer told Uruguayan radio: ‘We don’t have any doubts that this has happened because it’s Suarez involved, and secondly because Italy have been eliminated.

'There’s a lot of pressure from England and Italy.

'There is a possibility that they ban him, because there are precedents, but we’re convinced that it was an absolutely casual play, because if Chiellini can show a scratch on one shoulder, Suarez can show a bruised and almost closed eye.’
